I don't know about you, but I really like looking at Web statistics. This week, I've been researching the
Mobile Web, and I've put together a few sites you can use to see who is using the Mobile Web, what they are using it for, and where growth might be headed. Here are
five sites you can use to find all sorts of information about the Mobile Web.

- How to Find Google Search Statistics: Google's search statistics are, for the most part, public knowledge. Obviously, some proprietary information is going to be kept from the public, but most Web searchers will find what they need to know with these resources.

Ever since I got myself a
smartphone for Mother's Day last year, I've been discovering new sites, applications, and tools that make up the
Mobile Web. Some of my favorites:
- CraigsNotifica: A simple "fetcher" of anything I'm looking for on any Craigslist board. I have about 25 different feeds set up there and get notifications on my phone when something comes through of interest.
- WeatherBug: Since one of their weather stations is located a mile away from my house, I count on this application for the best local weather news.
- Pandora:My favorite streaming music service of all time is available on my phone; I listen to it when I'm in the car, working out, or out and about.
What are your favorite mobile sites? I've listed a few more of my favorites in this article titled The Best Mobile Sites on the Web; check it out and see if there are a few you might recognize and add to your mobile bookmarks.
